Using the plugin:-

The email or domain or the wildcard patterns should be added as one entry per line as shown below.

There are two meta characters allowed in the pattern/entry

  • * :- Matches anything. For example *one.com will match siteone.com, exampleone.com and so on. Multiple use is allowed like *spam* will match  hello@spam.com, spam.com, spam.xyz, somespam.com somespamxyz.com and so on
  • ? :- The question mark can be used to substitute a single character. For example, exa?ple.com will match example.com, exaple.com, exadple.com and so on.
